If you have ever been to a carnival party, then you paid attention to the variety of costumes that people try on. You can choose the image of a superhero, movie star, cartoon hero, beloved animal, or you can prefer something feminine, originally from childhood. Namely, a doll costume that can be made at home.
Feminine image
Such a carnival costume will perfectly emphasize femininity and individuality. The doll is always beautiful, well-groomed, smartly dressed and romantic. This is what a girl should choose, who has chosen such an image for a party. Doll costume implies a harmonious combination of clothing and appearance. A magnificent dress, high-heeled shoes, a marble face with bright makeup, curls on the head - these are the components of the image. Each of them will be considered later in the article.
Dress
Dolls are always dressed in lush dresses, so you need to find something suitable. You can choose a full skirt or dress. If you do not have such things at home and it is difficult to sew them, then a great option is a Russian sundress. Its pattern is quite simple and even a beginner will cope with it.
Another option may be to remake an existing sundress. In order to get a fluffy skirt, it is necessary to sew a petticoat. For this, hard tulle is suitable, from which five skirts are sewn in layers. This can be done without using a sewing machine, but with a thread with a needle. Sew the elastic on the first layer, and then sew the following layers on it until you reach the necessary splendor.
Such a petticoat is worn on the body, and on top of it is a dress. If you decide to sew a Russian sundress, you will not need a pattern for a petticoat. Because the dress itself implies the presence of a fluffy skirt. Below is another version of the pattern of a magnificent dress:
Footwear
Remember what shoes are on toy dolls? Of course, heeled shoes. So for this suit shoes or sandals with heels are suitable. Choose a color to match the dress - this will make the image harmonious.
It will be useful to have lace socks or golfs. Such an accessory will make the doll costume antique and give femininity to the overall image.
Boots and boots are not suitable for this costume, because a true lady wears shoes under a dress.
If you could not find the right heeled shoes, you can put on low-top pumps. But be sure to highlight them against the background of the dress, for this you can use various tricks. Paint with gold paint, glue rhinestones or sequins or even sew pieces of fabric from which the dress is sewn.
If you choose tights, then give preference to bright colors. That is, bodily and black options set aside. Depending on the color of the dress, tights can be white, red, yellow or with patterns.
Makeup
This is perhaps the main component of the image of the doll. Beautiful bright makeup will definitely distinguish you from the rest. But here there are rules, which we will talk about now.
If your doll costume for the New Year will be created on the principle of china, then you should try on makeup. The face and body must be shaded with pale powder of almost white color. To do this, you can use special makeup products.
Doll's eyes should be bright and expressive, this can be achieved in several ways. You can stick false eyelashes, or you can draw eyelashes with a black pencil under the lower eyelid.
Particular attention is paid to the cheeks of the doll: be sure to use bright blush that is applied in a circular motion. The use of watercolor paint for this procedure is not ruled out.
Well, of course, in conclusion, we pay attention to the lips. Bright juicy colors of lipstick will be just in time. Choose red or pink tones, try to avoid natural shades. Now that the doll’s costume is complemented with makeup, you can proceed to the selection of hairstyles.
Hairstyle
For a doll hairstyle, you can choose one of several options. The first is the use of a wig, and the second is to do your own hair. Let's consider each of them.
If you have the opportunity to purchase a wig, then this will be the best option. When choosing it, build on your image and the overall color scheme. The advantage of the finished wig is a large number of colors. You can choose red, yellow, green, pink, blue and even golden hair. Under the costume of the doll, both lush hairstyles and beautifully laid curls are perfect.
If you decide to create your own hairstyle for your image, then you should adhere to several rules. Hair should be voluminous, for this a strong comb is done using hair spray. You can braid two tails, and then wind the curls. For the brightness of the image, you can use crayons for hair, which will help temporarily dye the strands in any colors without harming your health.
Accessories
And, of course, bright accessories are needed to complete the look. For hairstyles, use fluffy bows made of ribbons or tulle. Hair bands with flowers glued on are also suitable.
Do not forget about jewelry: beads, bracelets, rings - these are mandatory accessories for any doll. And also pick up a handbag, small and elegant, which, by the way, can be decorated, like shoes.
